Alex is thinking solemnly, at a loss for a moment.
How can Aileen do this? He hopes what he guesses is wrong. But, now, what is happening to Miya?
...
Miya opens her eyes, feeling sore and ache all over, but it is pitch-dark. Recalling the things before she falls into a coma, she remembers that Aileen gives her a cup of tea, and then she becomes unconscious. Any sane person will figure out that there is a problem with that cup of tea.
She is drugged by Aileen. It's just that it's dark here, so she doesn't even know what kind of place it is.
She tries to stand up but finds that her hands and feet are tied with a very thick rope. She can't move at all.
This is too much. She wants to forgive Aileen, but she doesn't expect her to do such a thing to her.
"Aileen, Aileen, let me go right now..." Miya doesn't know what Aileen will do to her in the next moment, so she can only shout here, hoping someone can come to rescue her. But what she gets is always dead silence.
Is there no one here? And it's so dark here. She doesn't even know what kind of place it is.
"Let me go!" Miya can only shout that sentence from beginning to end. The struggling sound seems so helpless. In the end, darkness surrounds her, making her a bit flustered, "Alex, where are you? Come and save me."
Tears roll down her face. She also hates her cowardice.
"He won't come to you." Someone's deep voice is heard, which sounds familiar.
But what surprises Miya is that a man is lying next to her.
"Who? Who are you?" Miya flinches back vigilantly. Because it is too dark here, let alone people, she can't even see a shadow.
"Unexpectedly, without seeing me for a few days, you just forget me so quickly."
There is a hint of helplessness and provocation in the man's voice.
This feeling suddenly alarms Miya, "You are Richard?" Although she is intensely anxious, she has a feeling in her guts that she is right.
Soon, the man in the dark confirms her suspicions.
"It seems that you still care about me. You actually recognize my voice," Richard says smugly.
It's actually Richard! How unfortunate she is.
"But, shouldn't you be in jail?" This is what Miya is confused about. Things that are written in the news certainly can't be wrong.
Richard moves closer to Miya, "Because I think it's so boring to stay in jail, I want to be with you, then I come out."
Miya suddenly comes to her senses. Although it sounds like he is joking, she can feel that he really wants to be with her from the lines.
"How many times have I told you? I have someone I like, and I have a family. I won't be interested in you. Just forget it." Miya can only depress him again and again. She really doesn't want to get entangled with him.
"Miya, you don't know. I can't see you these days. I really miss you. I think my heart belongs to you. My body is not my own anymore. It's all yours," Richard keeps repeating these words to her ear.
